Today is the last day of the elimination rounds. Many prestigious universities have already finished their matches, leaving only some ordinary colleges still holding their elimination rounds. Therefore, the streets are more lively than usual today.
Ning Tian and Wu Feng looked at Huo Yuhao walking ahead, and Xiao Xiao beside him.
Xiao Xiao linked arms with Huo Yuhao, a sweet smile on her face, showing none of the coldness she had displayed a few days ago.
People came and went, and vendors shouted incessantly. Meng Hongchen clung to Huo Yuhao like a leech, refusing to let go.
Wang Dong'er walked quietly behind the group, lost in thought.
Not far behind them, Xiao Hongchen was furtively watching their actions. When he saw that his younger sister's eyes were full of Huo Yuhao, he finally understood what it felt like to have his precious daughter taken by a pig.
His gaze shifted to the side, and when he saw Wang Dong'er's back, his heart was filled with joy and satisfaction.
"Handsome guys, beautiful girls, refreshing and cool ice cream, great value for money, money back guarantee if you don't like it, two Silver Soul Coin each."
The vendors nearby shouted loudly, showing enthusiastic smiles to Huo Yuhao and the others.
Huo Yuhao turned to look at Xiao Xiao, then at the girls behind him, and said to the vendor, "Seven, please."
"Alright, please wait a moment. There are fourteen Silver Soul Coin in total."
The vendor deftly took out an ice cream bucket from his stall and skillfully began scooping out the ice cream.
Huo Yuhao placed the Silver Soul Coin on the stall, then whispered a few words to the vendor, who nodded while scooping ice cream.
A moment later, Huo Yuhao took two ice cream cones from the vendor and handed them to Xiao Xiao with practiced ease.
"Thanks."
Xiao Xiao took the ice cream cone with a slightly trembling right hand. When she met Huo Yuhao's gentle smile, she didn't dare to look him in the eye. Instead, she lowered her head and gently licked the ice cream cone with her little tongue.
The cool, Sisi taste rushed straight to her brain, sweeping away the gloom of the weather, and Xiao Xiao's heart instantly became much happier.
Huo Yuhao looked at her bright, star-like eyes and the sweet smile on her lips, his gaze filled with doting affection.
Seeing this, Meng Hongchen felt extremely jealous and immediately moved closer to Huo Yuhao, pleading, " Yuhao, I want some too."
As she spoke, Meng Hongchen leaned in and opened her mouth, taking the ice cream cone from Huo Yuhao's hand and stuffing it into her mouth, instantly filling her cheeks.
Meng Hongchen's eyes curved into crescent moons, and she mumbled indistinctly, "Mmm~ It's really... Ha, so delicious."
Huo Yuhao was somewhat helpless as he watched Meng Hongchen greedily licking his right hand. He could only turn to Wang Dong'er and the others and say, "Why don't you take it yourselves?"
Wang Dong'er, unusually, simply rolled her eyes, then glared fiercely at Meng Hongchen before taking an ice cream cone from the vendor.
After taking a bite, Wu Feng and Ning Tian also had happy smiles on their faces.
Sure enough, every girl is susceptible to the temptation of sweets.
Huo Yuhao then led the girls forward.
Seeing that he had walked far away, Xiao Hongchen followed after him.
"Why!"
Just as I was passing by the vendor, he called out to me.
Before he could react, the vendor had already handed the ice cream cone to Xiao Hongchen.
"The gentleman over there said it was for you, don't be shy."
Xiao Hongchen glanced in the direction Huo Yuhao had left, frowned, and threw the ice cream cone back, saying, "I don't need it!"
Are you sick in the head?
The vendor frowned, because Xiao Hongchen had large patches of ice cream on his clothes, and then he started cursing.
Xiao Hongchen ignored him and left on his own, knowing that Huo Yuhao had discovered him.
Since that's the case, there's no need to hide it anymore.
He strode forward a few meters, and amidst the commotion of the crowd, Xiao Hongchen arrived beside Wang Dong'er.
Because of the crowded and noisy surroundings, neither Wu Feng nor Ning Tian noticed Xiao Hongchen.
Xiao Hongchen lowered his voice and said to Wang Dong'er, " Huo Yuhao has already discovered us. Let's use another plan."
Wang Dong'er didn't care at all, waving her hand and saying, "I know you couldn't hide it from Huo Yuhao anyway. I didn't expect you to finish this right now, so you can handle it yourself from here on out."
Wang Dong'er knew Huo Yuhao's Soul Skill power, so she wasn't surprised that he discovered Xiao Hongchen. In fact, even without Xiao Hongchen's help, she had her own way of getting Meng Hongchen away from Huo Yuhao.
Having more helpers always makes things easier.
Just as the two were talking, the sound of discussion from the crowd made Huo Yuhao and his companions stop in their tracks.
"Oh dear, I never expected that His Majesty the Duke would have such a scoundrel, who would actually degenerate into Evil Soul Master."
"Well, who can argue with that? It'll be carried out in the east of the city in no time. I truly admire His Excellency the Duke's magnanimity in putting family members before family."
"However, Evil Soul Master are universally condemned, and Dai Huabin deserves to die. Judging by the time, it will probably be carried out in about two hours. It is said that this matter has even alarmed His Majesty." The man said in a low voice.
The other person immediately realized and said, "Oh, I see! No wonder."
Listening to their conversation, Huo Yuhao frowned. He had no idea that Dai Huabin was going to be executed today, and hadn't told him anything for Xu Jiujiu.
Just as he was pondering, Huo Yuhao felt his sleeve being tugged. Looking down, he saw it was Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao hesitated for a moment, then said, "How about... we go take a look?"
Xiao Xiao bit her lip, seemingly noticing Huo Yuhao's hesitation, and added, "If you feel uncomfortable, we can go back."
Huo Yuhao shook his head and said, "There's nothing inconvenient about it. I don't have much of a relationship with him, but he kidnapped you, and I think he deserved to die."
Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Xiao Xiao immediately recalled the unpleasant memories of the Ming Dou Mountain Range, which deepened her hatred for Dai Huabin.
Wang Dong'er was furious and shouted, "Go! Of course we have to go! It's all this guy's fault for making us suffer. We definitely have to see him get his comeuppance! Xiao Xiao, let's go!"
As she spoke, Wang Dong'er grabbed Xiao Xiao's hand and headed straight for the east of the city. The thrill of impending revenge made her quicken her pace.
Watching the two people quickly leave, Meng Hongchen frowned and asked in confusion, "Why are those two so interested in this thing?"
Meng Hongchen looked at Huo Yuhao and the others, trying to find the answer in their eyes, but she happened to see Xiao Hongchen at the very back.
Xiao Hongchen gave an awkward smile, waved to his younger sister, and said guiltily, "Meng, what a coincidence! Are you also going to the east of the city to watch the execution of prisoners? I'm going too."
Meng Hongchen, her face contorted with rage, pointed directly at Xiao Hongchen's nose and said, "Didn't I tell you to go back to the hotel? Why did you follow me here?"
Xiao Hongchen's eyes darted around, and he immediately cried out that he was innocent, raising his right hand to swear, "I swear, I really did hear this news and wanted to come and join in the fun. We just happened to run into each other."
"You!..."
Wu Feng rolled his eyes and said irritably, "Alright, alright, let's go first. You can talk about it yourselves later, okay?"
Xiao Hongchen immediately seized the opportunity and nodded, saying, "Yes, let's go first."
Meng Hongchen looked at Huo Yuhao with some helplessness, and only agreed after seeing that he had no objections.
Because of the crowd, many people went to join in the fun. When the group arrived, they saw Dai Hao coldly nodding to the executioner on the high platform in the distance.
"The time has come! Execute!"
A strong, resonant voice rang out.
The executioner raised his cleaver high, its sharp blade reflecting a blinding light in the air, exuding a heavy aura of menace. His face contorted into a demonic grimace as he swung the blade down with a chilling slash.
The heavy guillotine fell with a thud, and the head with long golden hair rolled to the ground.
Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao clearly saw Dai Huabin's head roll off, confirming that he had received his just deserts.
Dai Hao looked at the execution platform where Juanjuan's blood was flowing, and at Dai Huabin's corpse. He waved his hand, and several soldiers immediately rushed up to start cleaning up the body.
After gathering everything, he turned and left indifferently.
From below the stage, Chen Zifeng patted Dai Yueheng on the shoulder and sighed, " Yueheng, please accept my condolences."
Seeing Dai Huabin, who was beyond dead, Chen Zifeng finally felt completely relieved.
A flicker of grief crossed Dai Yueheng's eyes, but it quickly vanished, and he laughed loudly, "It's nothing, it's nothing serious, let's go."
Just before leaving, Dai Yueheng glanced back one last time before turning away without looking back.
At that moment, Dai Huabin completely disappeared from the world.
